Local media said the robber made off with the jewels in a briefcase. It is not yet known who the owner was.
A Cannes police spokesman said: "A full an urgent operation is under way to catch the culprit and recover these jewels. Thieves see Cannes as rich pickings."
Cannes film festival, which attracts celebrities from around the world, was hit by two jewellery thefts in May this year.
A necklace by Swiss jeweller De Grisogono reportedly worth 1.9m euros ($2.5m, £1.6m) vanished after a celebrity party at a five-star hotel in the resort town of Cap d'Antibes.
A week before, more than 777,000 euros ($1m, £650,000) worth of jewels were taken from the hotel room of an employee of exclusive Swiss jewellers Chopard. (BBC)

A matter for Interpol. Sri Lanka should be the first suspect. We have a lot of big time thieves in Sri Lanka specially jewelry and gold.
